About: Geospatial summary of the High Peaks/Summits of the Juneau Icefield

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The geospatial summary of the High Peaks/Summits of the Juneau Icefield is a compilation of the basic geospatial properties (location, elevation and prominence) of the peaks/summits within the general area of the Juneau Icefield located North and East of Juneau, Alaska extending north to Skagway, Alaska. The peaks are classified by elevation: 2000 m, 2050 m, 2100 m, 2150 m, 2200 m, 2250 m, 2300 m and above 2400 m. Most (216, 79%) of the compiled have not been assigned an official name by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and as such are delineated as "Un-Named" (UNP in the KML file).

  • The geospatial summary of the High Peaks/Summits of the Juneau Icefield is a compilation of the basic geospatial properties (location, elevation and prominence) of the peaks/summits within the general area of the Juneau Icefield located North and East of Juneau, Alaska extending north to Skagway, Alaska. The peaks are classified by elevation: 2000 m, 2050 m, 2100 m, 2150 m, 2200 m, 2250 m, 2300 m and above 2400 m. Most (216, 79%) of the compiled have not been assigned an official name by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and as such are delineated as "Un-Named" (UNP in the KML file). In addition, select minor peaks are included to report those that are contained within the GNIS database and to permit assigning a location marker (coordinate) for Nunatak identification and ridge delineation for the USGS Hydrologic Unit Code boundaries for cross referencing these areal shapes to a single coordinate. The elevation of the peaks and summits of the Juneau Icefield was determined by referencing multiple sources including: * GNIS database * BC Geographical Names (BCGN) database * USGS topographic maps * United States Forest Service (USFS) topographic maps * Natural Resources Canada (NRC) topographic maps * Peakbagger.com with cross-referencing to USGS and USFS * Selected other sources (such as scientific papers). The GNIS database consistently reports the peak elevation lower than the referenced USGS and/or USFS topographic maps. The topographic maps also report lower elevations than selected GPS measurements conducted by personnel of the , but not to the degree of the GNIS database. In this article, the topographic map values were used to report elevation above mean sea level (MSL), unless a more accurate GPS measurement was available. (en)
